ORCHIDMANIA's CONSERVATION COLLECTION

OrchidMania's Permanent Collection Helps Ensure A Future for At-Risk Orchid Species

OrchidMania's "red tag" collection is comprised of a select group of endangered and "at risk" orchid species. The collection was established through a grant from IBM (read more here).

You can help improve orchid conservation, too, by donating divisions of rare species to OrchidMania. And you'll get a tax write-off, to boot.

You can specify that you want your donation to enter our permanent collection, and your name will permanently be attached to that plant, as well as listed here. Contact us for details.

We would also appreciate any information you can provide in helping us to identify some of our unknown species.
